Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
Chapter 7 - Management of Overtime Expenditure in An Garda Síochána

9:00 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

RDMS is the resource deployment management system. In effect, members are detailed on it, and it is used when they come on and off duty. It records their overtime and allowances, and it should manage their pay. It will take quite a bit of paper out of the system and give us a daily view on where the expenditure is at any one time. It will also indicate where money is being spent. It will provide a good deal more information than we have at this moment.
